"Vitra DAW Eames Plastic Armchair RE"

Design: Charles and Ray Eames, 1950

Since the beginning of 2024, the seat shells of the Eames Plastic Chairs have been made from a special material: recycled post-consumer plastic. The source of this recycled material is new - it comes from the German household recycling collection "Gelber Sack", mainly from used packaging. It reduces climate-damaging emissions compared to conventional plastic and uses significantly less energy. Another characteristic aspect of the new seat shells are the delicate speckles, especially in the lighter colors, which arise due to the composition of the recycled material.

Features

  • Material: dyed polypropylene seat shell, fading by UV radiation is slowed by special additives.
  • Underframe with struts in maple
  • Optionally also with seat cover or full padding
  • With glides for carpets or alternatively with felt pads for hard floors
  • Hopsak: 100% polyamide
  • Neue seat height: 43 cm

Vitra Eames DAW - The combined chair

This iconic chair was presented as part of the competition "Low Cost Furniture Design" (organizer: New York Museum of Modern Art). The plastic armchair, like the other plastic chairs, is created from the modular system, which allows the combination of various seat shells with different bases. In the case of the Plastic Armchair DAW, a seat shell made of recyclable polypropylene with armrests is used. This is combined with the base of metal braces and maple wood and joins the DAW, the Dining Height Armchair Wooden Base.

Eames Plastic Armchair DAW

Plastic Armchairs at Vitra
Initially, the chairs were made of polyester resin. These models were the world's first plastic chairs made in series. Vitra took over the production of the chairs for the European area at an early stage, but the production stopped in 1993, since the use of polyester resin for the seat shells was no longer contemporary and ecologically unacceptable. The use of environmentally friendly and recyclable polypropylene was made possible in 1999 and the production of plastic chairs could be resumed.

The designers
Charles and Ray Eames are renowned for their contribution to architecture, photography, and more, across all borders, in addition to the legendary Möbeldesign. They undoubtedly rank among the most influential and most memorable of the 20th century. Born in 1907, Charles married Ray Kaiser, born in 1912, after having previously met at the Cranbrook Academy, Michigan. Ray assisted her future husband in his work with molded plywood. Together with Eero Saarinnen, Charles was able to win the first prizes at the Organic Furniture Competition with the extraordinary designs. Ray and Charles continued to work with the molded wood. A legendary story of success took its course.

DAW Eames Plastic ArmchairCountless combinations - for every room
A considerable feature of the Plastic Armchair is the amazing timelessness of the design. As with all chairs from the series of plastic chairs, the design is just as classic as modern. The manufacturer from Wheil am Rhein offers a variety of configuration options of the "Dining Height Armchair Wooden Base". In addition to the generous choice of colors, the chair with full upholstery or Hopsak seat covers can be assembled to create a very individual design piece. The plastic armchair can be perfectly adapted to the environment in which it is to be used. The elegant and timeless design makes it versatile. Whether in a hotel lobby, in the living room or in a meeting room, the armchair is always an eye catcher.

The original plastic armchair DAW is produced exclusively for Europe and the Middle East by the manufacturer Vitra. In the prooffice shop you get the Vitra original!

The human being is on average 10cm larger than in the 50s. Vitra has therefore decided to offer the Plastic Armchairs at a new height of 43cm.

Care
For the cleaning of the plastic surfaces a damp, soft cloth, in combination with a neutral detergent is recommended. Cloth covers can be vacuumed to remove lint and dust. For stains on the base or seat cover, a damp soft cloth with a mild and neutral detergent can also be used.
